Find the length of midsegment YZ in trapezoid ABCD when A(-5,-6) B(-6,-2) C(-4,0) and D(3,2)

Luda [366]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Y and Z are the midpoints of sides AB and CD of the given trapezoid.

Segment YZ will the midsegment of trapezoid ABCD.

By the theorem of midsegment,

m(YZ) = $\frac{1}{2}(AD+BC)$

By using expression for the length of a segment between two points,

Length of a segment = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Distance between two points A(-5, -6) and D(3, 2),

AD = $\sqrt{(3+5)^2+(2+6)^2}$

AD = $\sqrt{64+64}$

AD = $\sqrt{128}$

AD = $8\sqrt{2}$

Distance between B(-6, -2) and C(-4, 0)

BC = $\sqrt{(-6+4)^2+(-2-0)^2}$

BC = $\sqrt{8}$

BC = $2\sqrt{2}$

Therefore, m(YZ) = $\frac{1}{2}(8\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{2})$

= $\frac{1}{2} (10\sqrt{2})$

= $5\sqrt{2}$

Option C will be the answer.

Anyone know this?? it’s finding the sine of a triangle!!

LenKa [72]

Answer:

I'm not sure what you want me to answer from this, so I solved for every variable:

Angle A: 83°

Side b: 6.29

Side c: 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

-----Angle A:

Since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle ALWAYS equal 180°, we can solve for angle A as follows:

$A+51+46=180\\A+97=180\\A=83$

-----Side b:

Here, we use the sin rule for finding sides, since we know all of the angles as well as one side:

$\frac{a}{sin(A)} =\frac{b}{sin(B)} \\\frac{8}{sin(83)} =\frac{b}{sin(51)} \\8.06=\frac{b}{0.78} \\6.29=b$

-----Side c:

$\frac{a}{sin(A)} =\frac{c}{sin(C)} \\\frac{8}{sin(83)}=\frac{c}{sin(46)} \\8.06=\frac{c}{0.72} \\5.8=c$

I only need 12 and 17, first good response i will give brainliest please i’m desperate

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$\textsf{12.} \quad y = 6x - 5$

$\textsf{17.} \quad y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Question 12</u></h3>

Find the slope of the line by substituting two points from the given table into the slope formula.

<u>Define the points</u>:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (2, 7)
Let (x₂, y₂) = (3, 13)

$\implies \textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{13-7}{3-2}=\dfrac{6}{1}=6$

Substitute the found slope and point (2, 7) into the point-slope formula to create an equation of the line:

$\implies y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$\implies y-7=6(x-2)$

$\implies y-7=6x-12$

$\implies y=6x-5$

<h3><u>Question 17</u></h3>

Given:

f(4) = 3
f(0) = -2

Therefore, two points on the line are:

(4, -3)
(0, -2)

The y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0.

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -2.

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6.3 cm}\underline{Slope-intercept form of a linear equation}\\\\$y=mx+b$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $m$ is the slope. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $b$ is the $y$-intercept.\\\end{minipage}}$

Substitute the y-intercept and the point (4, 3) into the slope-intercept formula and solve for <em>m</em> to find the slope:

$\implies y=mx+b$

$\implies -3=m(4)-2$

$\implies -1=4m$

$\implies m=-\dfrac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-2$
